Danica Patrick started fourth, finished fourth and led 19 laps in her first
Indianapolis 500 in 2005.

Danica Patrick had an amazing debut in 2005, when she qualified a surprising fourth, demonstrating incredible reflexes and ability to keep from crashing when the car stepped out on her. She then earned one of the loudest roars ever from the crowd when she took the lead in the late stages of the race, which was won by Dan Wheldon. Patrick’s final 500 in 2018 ended with a crash and she wound up 30th, one of only two finishes outside the top 10 in eight starts.
